drive before you disassemble the valvebody. Pressure should be at least 60 psi (figure 3).

Technical Bulletin #241
No Forward and No Reverse
The most COMMON reason for a no forward and no reverse condition is a sticking switching-on accumulator
control valve or leaking rings on the switching-on accumulator (figure 2). There are slightly different versions
on the switching-on accumulator control valve, valve train. Yours may look different than the illustration. Before
disassembly of the valvebody check line pressure and cooler flow. Line pressure should be at least 60 psi (figure
3).
